ABBY
WE ARE MANY
We work with the assumption that we have not one center but many. We work with the assumption that our humanness is comprised of primarily non human entities. We follow the intelligence of our skin, fingernails, the tips of our hair, and the patterns of our embryonic selves. We work with anatomic Phantoms and Premonitions. We work with the powerful structures of Open Source Forms ( the wild stepchild of Skinner Releasing) as a vehicle for our practice. We will dance til we sweat. We will lay on the floor for a long time. When class is over we will swim in the river.
DOS RIOS
Hosted on a spacious and wild property near the town of Dos Rios, the land offers the peace and solace of deep rural Northern California. It also provides a beautiful converted hay barn dance studio, a main house, ample camping and access to spring fed swimming holes in the Eel river. During the retreat, nutritious, omnivorous fare will be prepared daily by Leslie Castellano for retreat participants.
Fee (including tuition, meals, camping) $485

$150 deposit by May 15th holds your spot and is non refundable. BALANCE IS DUE ON JUNE 1.

This retreat takes place off the beaten path, participants should be prepared for rugged land, wildlife, and know that weather can be variable with possible high temperatures. The wilderness is part of the majesty of Dos Rios!
